This offer ends in:
The BDCG018 is a 1.5 kg capacity coffee grinder for small to mid-volume coffee service. It grinds whole beans on demand for espresso extraction, filter brewing, and commercial beverage preparation. Operated by baristas and front-of-house staff in coffee shops, hotel breakfast stations, and office canteens.
Commercial Application
This grinder sits within the espresso workflow between bean storage and group head dosing. It eliminates pre-ground oxidation and delivers fresh grounds at the point of extraction. Programmable grinding cycles reduce operator variability during high-volume service periods.
During morning rushes or back-to-back table orders, the unit grinds batch sizes from single shots to 12-cup volumes. The 1–60 second timer allows calibration for grind size and dose weight. A 350 g bean hopper supports continuous operation without frequent refilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What hopper capacity does this grinder provide for continuous service?
A: The bean hopper holds 350 g and the grounds bin holds 150 g per cycle. A 1.5 kg total capacity supports 2–3 hours of moderate beverage service before requiring a refill.
Q: How is grind size adjusted for espresso versus filter brewing?
A: Grind time is programmed via the control panel timer (1–60 seconds). Shorter cycles produce coarser grinds for filter; longer cycles yield finer espresso powder. Calibration is performed during commissioning.
Q: Does the unit require dedicated water filtration or plumbing?
A: No. This is a dry grinder with no water connection. It operates independently of espresso machines or brewers.
Q: What electrical supply is needed for UK and EU installations?
A: 230V single-phase at 165W. A standard 13A UK plug or Schuko plug is compatible. No three-phase supply is required.
Q: What commercial warranty coverage applies to the BDCG018?
A: 12 months parts warranty from date of dispatch. Motor assemblies and electronic timers are covered. Consumable grinding blades are excluded after 6 months of commercial use.
